floated by republican senator bob corker of tennessee, an idea we should raise the eligibility age for medicare. that is a wildly unpopular idea. more people oppose than support that idea by a 37% margin. it is more unpopular among republicans than the general public. republicans have not convinced their own voters let alone the rest of the country. they have not convinced their own voters on what they are trying to get in this big washington negotiation that is underway. republicans do not want the president out in the country talking to the people of the country about his ideas, which the country likes and about their ideas, which broadly speaking, the country hates. republicans do not want the president urging the american people to get involved on this, to call their member of congress, to invade their facebook pages and their twitter feeds. this is not a new strategy for president obama. this is the latest in a long line of efforts on the part of the obama white house to organize americans, to bring a grassroots campaign style efforts to bear on a policy debate. this not the first time the

let me drill down one more time on medicare and medicaid. what specific changes to save money or slow the growth of spending in medicare could you endorse right now? would it be raising the age for full eligibility? would it be increasing co-pays? would it be doing something about the end of life expenditures which now consume 25% of medicare's expenditures, go to the 5% of individuals who are in their last year of life. >> the latter part of what you just said is something that we should be looking at. remember, we were scared off the subject two years ago, tyler, looking at the end of life expenses. and that turned into panels that were going to decide who lives and dies which was totally ridiculous. there's nothing in the health care act which even comes close to that. but that is an area i would accept. i do not accept -- if we had to vote tomorrow, i would not vote raising the age. >> why not? americans' life expectancies are so much longer than they were in 1965 when medicare was begun. >> because then you create another problem. you c

medicare was passed, if you speak to people, the first ten years of medicare were a challenge as they figure out the economic realities behind it. if you are taking care of your parents, just take care of your parents, put a plan in place now. the net result of the affordable care act is you and myself as consumers are more responsible. tracy: one of the problems with the whole system is the administrative part of it. it is so darn confusing. you help people get that thought in mind. if only the government could do that as well. >> i am not sure if that is the role of government. i do not think there is anyone else in the system except for the consumer at the end of the day you will have to own up for the responsibility to make sure they are coordinated with the system. i do not think the system will help take care of you. that is not the system. tracy: many of us will pay way more attention. >> i think that is right. other than that, it made me feel really, really good about myself. >> wish i could have provided you more.

right now medicare is essentially indirectly subsidizing those plans. so the president actually has substantial savings, not only in health care, but in many other areas. for example he eliminates a lot of the excessive agriculture subsidies. so the president's plan does have that balance of cuts, and revenue. >> interesting that you bring up health care because eric cantor, something we heard from speaker boehner, he would like obama care to be back on the table. i mean, democrats say, look, this is how we squeezed out -- we squeezed money from medicare. but the republicans are saying no put that back on the table. this is what he said. >> if the president is serious about joining us and fixing the problem, he ought to be putting obama care on the table. there's no question in my mind, that is the largest expansion of government programs -- >> can you say at the moment that that's being talked about? >> all i can say is the president has got to get serious >> when i hear stuff like that i think you guys are still on completely different planets at the
